School gets kudos for helping

I want to thank John Sherman Elementary School for partnering with the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics to promote Bike Helmet Safety Awareness Week held May 6 to 10 by hosting a bike rodeo May 17.

Bike helmets save lives and prevent injuries, in fact, in 2010 the number of people injured by not wearing a bike helmet was 51,000, enough people to fill Nationwide Arena in Columbus 2.5 times. But by simply providing a $10 helmet to a child, we can take $41 out of our health care system.
